If you can't persevere losses, don't gamble

[Gozie51]

Not every gambler can endure losses, and when you are unable to control your emotions as a gambler even when you loose a bet, your health can be affected, or even aggression can be transferred as a result of the losses incured to family, and friends. So, it is adviceable not to gamble if your emotions can not be controlled as gambler, especially when you are at loss.

What is your take on this?

This is actually where it starts from. That is the dangerous part of gambling when you are not able to control your emotions and it leads you to transfering aggression to the other person which can even lead to fight and bodily injury. I have witnessed a fight like that in an offline gambling shop because a losser felt he was unnecessarily mocked. The fight caused a very bad injury for both parties as a result of that inability to hold back emotional depression.

I have also witnessed a P2P gambling that led to serious fight which escalated to factional fight. There is a need to be emotionally balanced to understand that gambling is part of gaming and catching fun. This is why a gambler should take lesser risk that will not push his pulse into anger for losing because someone by the side tries to through tantrums on them.

The real truth that many gamblers don't want to accept, losses is inevitable in gambling, it should be the most confused area of the business from gamblers side, you are going to lose more than you win.

Been smart is accepting this advice, but I guess many will want to stay in their dream land, gambling makes more money for the house and that is how they will keep running the operation, if casinos are losing more they will close the business down.

It's not really hard to understand gambling at all, most people just don't want to admit it, maybe because someone they knew or read about won a jackpot, it's very possible to win a jackpot but millions of people will pay for it, because losses happens more than wins.

Most gamblers don't want to accept that this game called gambling is both for loss and gain, and there gain is by luck. That's why the have to set rules for themselves and gamble by that rule like playing the game with the money they can afford to lose, because accepting their losses is not an easy thing for some gamblers and they had to know discipline help them to stay responsible, this way they  can gamble smartly and safely.

Gamblers own a large portion of self conviction towards taking actions in the casino, many players later on condemn this drive of positivity and reliance on what they're capable of doing, and submit completely to promises of winning big, coming from the wins of jackpot winners published on the internet and player boards of the casino.

Yes, I understand the problem, but when I get too positive and insist on doing things right, and I think I'm doing them right, well, they don't turn out so well because I lose money. And as I said before, sometimes it's not so easy to stay calm. It's also not easy to stay calm with the money we can lose. Sometimes just playing gets us all worked up and we start gambling too much with the hope of winning, and we lose. That's what we should avoid.

Too much confidence also leads you to lose a lot, as you said your mindset already attach that the chance of winning is high, with that you might place larger amount of bet and suddenly the outcome tunred against you, which the common reaction is to bet again to try to recover, it's best to have that acceptance install inside you, so no matter what will happen you are willing to accept and to move forward.

As gamblers, we are all aware that gambling has a two ways direction either you win or you loose, that is to say, as you continue to gamble, you will not only record winning, but losses too.
Don't take gambling as your source of income because if this notion fails, you are likely to have a heartbreak. There are times when a gambler will continue in long term losses, and barely make wins, in this case it takes someone who knows about gambling or what gambling is all about to withstand such pressure, otherwise their could be negative effect on the gambler.
Not every gambler can endure losses, and when you are unable to control your emotions as a gambler even when you loose a bet, your health can be affected, or even aggression can be transferred as a result of the losses incured to family, and friends. So, it is adviceable not to gamble if your emotions can not be controlled as gambler, especially when you are at loss.

What is your take on this?

How I wish some gamblers will be able to read this and understand and stick to this advice because this has led many into having heart attacks and depression because they can't handle the pressure from loosing and most of them don't have a budget nor placed themselves on a bankroll in other to curtail their excessive gambling habits and they quickly fall into bankruptcy from reckless gambling which is not healthy.

Due to lack of Jobs in the country most persons rely on gambling as their source of income and it becomes difficult for them when they gamble and loose forgetting that everything that has advantages also has its disadvantages and the one that goes with gambling is loosing and winning, they both work together that's why it's not advisable to depend on gambling as a means of survival because winning is unpredictable.

Before you gamble or go into gambling, you have to bear two things in your mind, because in gambling you either loose or you win, but if you don't bear these things in your mind , and you are only thinking of making profit, it could be so heavy on you when losses come.
There was this guy who does gamble, and one day he lacked money, and he gave someone who gamble some money to predict, and place the bet for him, they tried the first time, and the prediction failed, they tried the second time, and the prediction failed again, so the guy became very angry with the guy he gave money to predict this game. What am i saying, when you don't prepare your mind for losses, when it comes , you will be heavily discomforted unlike other gamblers who knows losses is part of the game .

Then they are not supposed to be gambling in the first place because gaming can't be without losing, and they should be aware of that. Anyone who can't take losing should not take risks at all because they will get their heart broken over and over again.

It hurts really bad but what are the magnitude of these losses because it's not about enduring the losses but how's the size of this loss you are expected to persevere with as you keep gambling?!
If you're that gambler that is gambling on high rollers and you just can't get nothing to show for a win but just losses, my concession to this is that you just quit than persevering, because persevering would only lead to more unacceptable losses. You can only persevere where you're using funds you are able to afford to lose at ease.

If its something that you cant accept or you've been stressed out with these losses then you do just simply stop and dont gamble as simply as that. It all matters on how you are really that sensible into the things that happening around on which if you arent that sensible enough into the actions and potential things that could happen ahead then you are really that potentially be able to experience those shit conditions and this is something that you must avoid. Its really that up to you on how you would be making up decisions on which it would really be just that too impossible that you cant really be able to determine on whats wrong and whats right. As for gambling then it is really just that for the sake of fun and entertainment but of course you would be spending up some money for that on the leisure that you do get on which of course you shouldnt be expecting that you can make sure money or profits with that because thats not how gamblign works but if you are lucky then you might be able to hit wins but dont expect too much.

Having this mindset keeps everything in balanced or in order, because one can't only think about profits in gambling without also think about losses, meanwhile the game is all about the two, both losses and wins. And luck grants them the wins, that is why gamblers are to bet with any amount of money that they afford because while they bet, they should be expecting the both to happen and should also be ready to accept any outcome in gambling, as this will prepare their minds and will also help them to be in charge of their emotions.

[Bluedrem]

Compulsive gamblers do not focus on money when they gamble. Their main goal is to gamble and the prospect of winning drives them to gamble even more. When gamblers start losing by small margins, the desire to win becomes more intense and they start betting. They do not think about the funds from which they are using the money to bet. They basically gamble beyond their discretionary income and when they finally face a loss, they cannot accept it.

We have also heard about gambler's collapsing as a result of losing their betslip, this only goes to show that such gambler's are not mentally unfit to handle the pressure which accompanies gambling.

More than perseverance, gambling should always be approached with caution and responsibility. It involves a planning process in which a person must not be “care-free” in order to minimize losses as a whole.

I mean, gambling is a game where it gives you the potential of earning money in the process. However, many people seem to take it for granted given that they only see the positive effects of gambling. Without fully understanding the whole picture, it puts you in a bad position when you fail to see its negative effects and the habits that you slowly develop.

In conclusion, gambling should always be seen as something to be cautious of. The more you view it as a means of income or a habit that can yield you money, the higher the chance that you may succumb to addiction.

[Dunamisx]

Orientating people before gambling is necessary so that they don't develop wrong approach to gambling by their way of expectations, gambling is an entertainment and not an alternative to economic hardship, you can't take it as an investment or a means of earning money except we are lucky to make some extra profit from the risk we took to play, therefore if we can't afford a loss we shouldn't go for it.

[TheUltraElite]

Most of us will agree that gambling is a loss making game in the long term for the gamblers and hence it should be approached with a limit on budget and time. Both of the latter will get wasted if they start chasing their losses and attempt to make money from gambling beyond what they already won.

The fact that people come to gambling with hope to make money and end up losing most of the time fuels the ego to play more. This in turn is profitable for the casino and devastating for the player.

Unless one sees this problem as soon as they start, there is no going back.

People may rely on gambling as a source of income only in the beginning, when they are just getting familiar with it and believe they can win enough money to make a living from it. However, I think it only takes a few weeks or a few months of playing to realize that gambling is not something that can provide a reliable source of income.

[Agbe]

Yes a gambler can draw his bet or casino Playing. And the three options are in the both sides of the gambling process. The winning, losing and draw. If the gambler loss they (the casino) win and when the gambler wins, the casino loss, and if the game (match) draw, and that depends on the option the gambler choose. And as a gambler, he must, it is a compulsory for him to know the risk ahead. He should not think of winning or winning streak but have the carnal knowledge of losing but in the process of he wins, it is his luck.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gambling is a psychological activity and someone have to be fully prepared for it before continuing with it because it one is not ready, gambling can mess with their mental health, just the way we have heard the stories of people that collapsed and died after losing their bet and that part of what we are talking about, if you can not deal with losses, then don't gamble at at or don't risk the amount you can not afford to lose because that's what makes some people to have challenges while gambling.

[Pandu Geddon]

What is your take on this?

I think every gambler understands this, even beginners know that the risk of gambling is losing. Because gamblers stake their money for the chance of winning, but they also have to accept other outcomes that may not meet expectations. It would be better for every gambler to know their limits based on their finances, rather than gambling excessively, which results in financial problems for them. It's just that sometimes gamblers really cannot control themselves for certain moments.

[len01]

I have often said here that if a gambler really understands what gambling really is like, there will be no negative impacts for them. If gamblers already understand how gambling works, of course they will only gamble using small amounts of money to try their luck by enjoying the game. It's as if it's like playing a video game. So even though they often experience consecutive losses, they will never get angry or try to chase losses.

What is your take on this?

The discussion is repetitive but maybe not everyone gets the same literacy on this gambling board so they ask back again and again, it doesn't matter if it will be useful for people who understand if we keep talking about this, although for most people it is boring.
 
Yes we shouldn't think of gambling as a way to make money, using a small amount of money and also limiting the time that is only for entertainment, there are many people's mistakes in this case, and I think this case repeats from generation to generation about gambling that is considered to be able to get quick money and change lives when it is unlikely, and can only rely on luck that you don't even know when it can come into life.

A lot of people don't seem to realize that gambling is a psychological game, everything about it and the way it was designed was all set to test the strength of a gamblers mental maturity. This is the reason why when some people end up making profit and instead of reducing their stake or taking a break they continue trying to make more profits which eventually leads to them losing everything.
